Behind them, a few soldiers walked out carrying a huge plaque.

The plaque was covered with a piece of red cloth, and the name on it could not be seen clearly no matter how close it was.

Tian Feng nodded at Wang Meng, and the latter stepped forward and said: "The four exams have passed, and after reviewing by nearly a hundred of our examiners, we have selected the one with the best grades from more than 1 candidates who participated in the exam. The best 360 five people will enter the last exam. Those who are famous on the list do not need to be proud and complacent. Let’s refer to it again! The auspicious time has come, let’s publish the list!”

The officials present immediately cheered up.

Two years later, so to speak, the Qi State Examination will be held every two years.It can be seen from this that even though this time unfortunately failed the ranking, there is still a chance next time.

Two huge plaques were slowly hung on the walls of Yecheng Academy that had been prepared long ago.

One is a blue plaque and the other is a red plaque, corresponding to aristocratic families and poor families.

Several armored soldiers stood in front of them holding weapons to prevent someone from destroying the plaque.

The red cloth was slowly removed, and all the names on it were revealed immediately.

Pang Tong in Xiangyang, Shi Tao in Yingchuan, Meng Jian in Runan, and Jiang Wan in Lingling are all on the list.

"I got it, I got it, I got it! I, Huang Xing, got the exam." In front of the poor family's plaque, a ragged official shouted excitedly.

Hearing this voice, the wealthy businessmen around rushed forward and surrounded this official named Huang Xing.

"I am the patriarch of the Zhong clan in Zhaojun, and I want to marry my daughter to Mr. Huang."

"I am the patriarch of the Chen clan in Wei County. I also have a daughter waiting in my boudoir. If Mr. Huang marries my daughter, I am willing to give three thousand gold as a dowry."

"What, I'll offer four thousand gold, Mr. Huang." The patriarch of the Zhong family grabbed Huang Xing, as if he had a plan to grab it back directly.

The patriarch of the Chen clan next to him was suddenly unhappy. They, the Chen clan sent three family members this time but failed to make the shortlist, even though this official named Huang Xing looked extremely poor and ordinary-looking.

But none of that matters.

As an official who can enter the palace for the first time in the examination, he will definitely be reused by King Qi in the future.

Even if he can't worship the general and become a marquis, he will definitely be able to be a county guard. If he is not won over before he has made a fortune, it will be a waste of such an opportunity in the future.

"I'll give you five thousand gold!" Although the patriarch of the Chen clan felt pain, but for the sake of the family, he had no hesitation.

The patriarch of the Zhong family quit immediately, and regardless of etiquette, he rushed up and beat the patriarch of the Chen family violently.Such a move made Huang Xing beside him full of astonishment.

Such a situation is constantly being staged in front of the entire Yecheng Academy.

Especially those children from poor families, they are directly missed like golden eggs.Some people even used sedan chairs to drag these down-and-out scholars back to their homes in spite of everything, omitting etiquette, and directly married in the bridal chamber that night.

If Cao Anmin hadn't finally issued a document to strictly prohibit this kind of behavior, I'm afraid these humble officials whose lives have been too ups and downs would lose their hearts in an instant.

Inside the inn, Pang Tong and the others finally escaped from the siege and returned here.

Even though they are all talented, they are still terrified in the face of competition from aristocratic families and businessmen.

Pang Tong was okay because of his ugly appearance, but after Jiang Wan and the others announced their rankings, they were interrogated by countless aristocratic families and businessmen, and were even forcibly dragged into a sedan chair several times.

If it wasn't for the few people who also practiced martial arts in addition to studying literature, I'm afraid they would have been taken back to worship and get married by this time.

"It's terrifying!"

"Yeah, if it wasn't for Gong Yan just now, I'm afraid I would have been taken away at this time."

"Haha!" Jiang Wan laughed heartlessly a few times, then turned his eyes to Pang Tong who was next to him, and seeing that the latter was not in high spirits, he immediately asked, "What's wrong with Shi Yuan?"

"Hey! Why doesn't anyone take a fancy to me? They're all a group of guys who only care about appearance, pedantic, pedantic!"

Meng Jian and the others immediately laughed.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Wan opened the door, only to see a small official and two guards standing at the door, bowing and saluting, "Excuse me, who are Jiang Wan, Pang Tong, Meng Jian and Shi Tao?"

Several people nodded in response.

"According to His Majesty's will, all the officials who entered the palace theory will move into the Yecheng Academy from today, and the palace theory exam will be held in January. The words have been brought, please prepare early, and don't miss the important thing. "

When they saw the soldiers guarding the door, they didn't dare to delay, they immediately packed up their things and prepared to leave.

Different from the previous exams, the final lecture was selected in Yecheng Academy.

Before the exam, all Shizi must check in in advance.Therefore, on the second day after the hair party was over, more and more officials moved into this dream place one after another.

In order to prevent outsiders from disturbing, the outside of this house is guarded by soldiers.A group of 360 and five scholars were not allowed to go out since they moved in. They could only stay in their respective houses and study.

Even if you move your muscles, you can only walk around the yard.

This is the rule set by Tian Feng, to sharpen the mind.Those who are impetuous and impetuous, if they are placed under house arrest for a month, will definitely perform abnormally, while those with a stable mind will not have this problem.

Chapter 635

"My lord, it's not appropriate for us to do this!" Wang Meng looked at his plain clothes, and then at Cao Anmin next to him, with a helpless look on his face.

"Jing Lue was wrong. As the saying goes, you can use your talents to know your heart. The best way to know your heart is to go to their side." Cao Anmin walked in front, dressed in plain clothes like a very ordinary official from a poor family .

The two walked quickly and entered Yecheng Academy.

Today's weather is good, many officials are trapped here, feeling irritable, basically taking a nap in the backyard.

The two walked in quickly. In the center of the courtyard, on the ground paved with stone slabs, there were more than ten tables and tables, and a dozen men were sitting there.

These people are all good-looking and slender.Wearing brocade clothes, with a sword hanging from his waist.The sitting posture is elegant, and he looks like a son of an aristocratic family.

Within Yecheng Academy, the boundary between the aristocratic family and the poor family was drawn extremely clearly.The vast majority of children from aristocratic families do not want to mix with children from poor families, and children from poor families have a natural hatred, so naturally they do not want to be confused with children from aristocratic families.

While the two of Cao Anmin were looking at them, they were also looking at Cao Anmin.

The eyes are either probing or full of hostility.

But soon their eyes moved away from Cao Anmin.

Wang Meng whispered nearby: "Your Majesty, those are all officials from aristocratic families."

"I see!" Cao Anmin replied coldly.

At this moment, a young man walked over quickly, glanced at them and said: "Don't be as knowledgeable as those people, come, come here." After saying this, the official took Cao Anmin and the two of them to the other side. side.

There are also more than a dozen young people standing here. Judging from their clothes, it can be vaguely seen that they are all poor family officials.

The hatred between the poor family and the aristocratic family has risen to such a level before the last family discussion, which is something Cao Anmin never expected.

But soon, he also understood.
